School Visits – Adventurous Activities

Based at Nene Outdoors Watersports and Outdoor Activity Centre in Ferry Meadows, we provide a safe, action-packed space for school groups to get outside, try new challenges and have fun! From land-based adventures to water activities, our sessions support the curriculum while building teamwork, confidence and plenty of smiles along the way.

With a huge range of exciting adventures, our friendly team will work with you to choose the perfect mix of activities to match your group’s energy and goals. On the day, your plan is agreed as a team and checked throughout, so everyone gets the most out of their time with us. Prices start at £24 per head for three hours of adventure.

Nene Park Trust is proud to hold the Learning Outside the Classroom (LoTC) Quality Badge and the Adventuremark Award, giving you confidence that all activities are safe, well managed and delivered to the highest standards. We are also a Royal Yachting Association recognised training centre and are fully licensed by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority.

We welcome schools from Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and beyond for unforgettable, inclusive outdoor experiences. Whether it’s splashing around in watersports, taking on team challenges or enjoying a mix of thrilling adventures, we’ll help you plan a day packed with fun, teamwork and excitement!
